Am I A Geek For Watching The Thermometer ?

[rdenner]

I just sit and watch that thing GO UP AND UP.. In a one minute span it jumped 3,000 dollars.

I have been saying since they started accepting online donations, that this would be the best way to get people involved.

I had no intentions of sending any more money this quarter, but I got caught up in the moment and decided to forgo buying a tennis racket for my son until next week and donated 25 bucks.

Not much but it all helps.

I'm such a Ron Paul geek..

[nayjevin]

Yes. And I am too.

[Bloody Holly]

no. It means you have ORPD

Obsessive Ron Paul Disorder (please don't go to a shrink)

either that or you are just easily amused.

[DjLoTi]

Nope, I am :)

[BLS]

I'm freaking addicted to watching it.
I want to donate again, so I can get a screenshot with my name on it.

You are far from being alone although most of the others will never ADMIT IT!:D

[AcidReign]

Yes, but your not alone. I think they need fireworks every 10,000.

[BLS]

SH!T!!!!!

I just donated again, and I MISSED THE PRINT SCREEN!!

ARGH....


I guess I'll have to donate again.

no because I am also watching it and I may be the coolest person alive

[FreedomLover]

I always thought thermometers and other quantfiable gimmicks is a great way to raise money, it's how howard dean was able to raise those tens of millions a couple years ago.

[reduen]

[mport1]

I am watching it consistently too.

[scubasteve01]

Same here.... it's addicting

[LibertyEagle]

Me too. :)

[FluffyUnbound]

Does anyone know how many hours it's been up? It seems like the 200 grand came pretty quick.

[Zydeco]

Anyone tell me exactly when the drive began, day and hour?

[Original_Intent]

Mine quit showing the dollar amount! :(

(Yes I tired reloading the page)

It was yesterday morning, don't know the hour.

[remaxjon]

(Yes I tired reloading the page)

mine as well

I think it did it when it hit 200k

[mconder]

Is the campaign website insanely slow for anyone else?

[MsDoodahs]

I'm not seeing the totals anymore.

Did you guys see it hit 200K? It was at 197K last time I saw numbers.

:confused:

[FunkBuddha]

Think we were generating too much traffic for the site? Maybe that's why they stopped the counter.

[cac1963]

Well the campaign just sent out an email saying, go look at the counter update with each donation, pretty cool!

And next thing you know, no more number updating.

[MsDoodahs]

I got an email from the campaign a few minutes before the number stopped functioning.

Maybe they got slammed and the number thingee broke...

[philipsantamaria]

I'm here in class with a friend watching it on our laptops...youre not alone.

[reduen]

Yeah, maybe the "number thingeee" broke... lol :rolleyes:

(Just playing of course.)

[TheIndependent]

Geek? Not at all. ;) Awesome.

[Green Mountain Boy]

We broke the thermometer:( .....donated too fast.

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

Now they'll send out an email saying they need to raise 20,000 in the next fifteen minutes so they can upgrade their servers.

[KewlRonduderules]

Hmmmm... I wonder if someone tried to hack into the system. They did not like the numbers and felt threatened?Just a thought...

[IRO-bot]

No way. I am here at work, flipping between designing trusses and watching the meter. I wanted to see 200k but it stopped. :( *sad day*

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

Cool. Didn't y'all get to play with the little mercury balls like we did when we were kids?

[IRO-bot]

Cool. Didn't y'all get to play with the little mercury balls like we did when we were kids?

No, they discovered that it was harmful to the human body. :rolleyes:

I only got to watch my teacher do it. He was a little nutty though. Blew up the pond at our school for fun.
